Although he had been called up by coach Frédéric Fauthoux and initially declared his availability for France’s last two qualifiers, Evan Fournier was ultimately excluded from the 12-man roster for personal reasons, as announced by the French federation.

Two more EuroLeague players were selected in their place: Timothé Luwawu-Cabarrot from Baskonia and Petr Cornelie from Monaco.
